HOW TO APPLY

To be granted the FIXLAB access, an application by the Group Leader is required, describing the scientific background of proposed project, the planned measurements and their objectives, the expected results, as well as the justification of the need of the specific provider access highlighting the European impact. An User Group is a research team composed by one or more researchers requesting access to FIXLAB for the same project. A Group Leader leads each User Group.

A  FIXLAB Access Chart is proposed to help the users in the application process. Concerning the EC general rules see the ACCESS AREA for further information.

Note that applications can be for access to, one FIXLAB facility or to both facilities of the same platform in France (Platform A) or in Hungary (Platform B) if the project so require.

Access to a single facility
The proposal must be addressed to the relevant FIXLAB access provider (specific contact and address in the following).
The submission procedure encompasses:
– an abstract of the planned project preliminarily sent by e-mail waiting the prescreening response (recommended);
– the final proposal using the specific (AGLAE-ATOMKI-HAS-BNC) downloaded FIXLAB application form, sent both by email in .pdf format and by regular mail – signed – by the Group Leader (compulsory).
For SOLEIL IPANEMA, specific internal procedures have to be observed (to obtain related information refer to SOLEIL IPANEMA web site).

EVALUATION PROCESS AND CRITERIA

After the proposals are submitted, the access provider concerned together with FIXLAB Welcome Desk will verify the formal compliance with the EU regulations, undertaking a prioritizing of the applications based on available expertise, ongoing potential collaboration projects, available time etc. as well the necessity/feasibility for the use of the facility.
All applications will thereafter be transferred to Peer Review evaluating the scientific content of the project and ranking the proposals. The final decision will be reported to the FIXLAB Welcome Desk who will notify the applicant and the access provider of the Peer Review conclusion. The access provider will make a final decision concerning the extent of access (instruments, days, period, IPR agreement, etc.).
The selection is thus primarily based on the scientific quality; the originality of the scientific proposal, as well as the level of expertise to setup and conduct the proposed experiment and to analyze samples available in the User and host groups. The applications should aim to increase the scientific output (qualitatively and quantitatively), optimize the use of local expertise of ongoing research activities and facilities, and foster lasting international science cooperation.
Priority will be given,
– to collaborative projects promoting new methodology, technology transfer and scientific advancement,
– to Users/groups have not previously used the FIXLAB resources,
– to Users/groups working in countries where no such facilities exist,
– to researches having excellent scientific bases with focused goals.
– to proposals technically feasible for the available host facilities.
